ProductDescription

Dahle Stack Cutters are manually operated but make easy cutting of up to 200 sheets of paper at a time. Safety shields can be found on either side of the cutting blade and will not allow the blade to move while they are in the up position. Once the shields are in place, you have the ability to cut cleanly though 200 sheets of paper with very little effort. This clean, burr free cut through such a large stack of paper is made possible through a ground Solingen Steel blade and a paper clamp that places even pressure across the entire cutting surface. The two larger machines offer a self-locking spindle driven backstop for minute adjustments to your cutting measurements. These cutters can be mounted on any secure table surface although the optional floor stands are recommended for proper cutting height and leverage.

ProductReviews

Great helpful machine! I do wish there was an easier way to see the cut line, but you simply just need to measure. It's not that big of a deal though! We really love the usefulness and the time we save using this cutter!

This cutter is excellent. This is Not your classic curved blade tabletop cutter. This is a heavy-duty office equipment. Once you set the clamp to secure the paper and close the safety cover, cutting a ream of paper requires very little effort. It cuts very straight. The trick is to make sure to spend the time aligning the edges of your paper bundle before clamping it down. The mechanical operation was smooth and the clamp held its place. One of the most time saving and practical pieces of equipment we've bought so far. It is of high quality and sturdy construction. The blade is a Solingen Germany blade from the same renowned knife capital of Wusthoff and Henkels. The unit is very heavy so moving around is not recommended but it is very stable. Highly recommended, would purchase again. Buying the matching stand is highly recommended to get the most out this cutter.

Dahle 842 Heavy Duty 200 Sheet 17 inches Stack Cutter Review

When it comes to selecting a paper cutter, it is important to choose a machine that can adequately handle the amount of paper you need to cut. That means if you are only going to be working with smaller amounts of paper (such as personal craft projects), a rotary/rolling trimmer would be a good pick. But the more paper you cut, the more cutting power you need. A guillotine paper cutter can help you cut multiple pieces of paper, but when you have a huge cutting job - such as one that's hundreds of pages long - a stack cutter is an excellent option. Dahle manufactures several different stack cutters, including some that are professional-grade. One of these is the 842 cutter, a machine that can chop through up to 200 sheets of paper. Scroll down and continue reading about this stack cutter to discover what is good - and not so good - about it.

The Pros:

The Dahle 842 professional-grade cutter can cut up to 200 sheets of paper. It can also cut items that are up to 16-7/8 inch long and it can handle both regular photocopier paper and card stock. This stack cutter has blades that are made from high quality German Solingen steel, which makes it possible for it to easily cut such large quantities of paper. Each cut will be clean and crisp, making your work look extremely professional.

Safety needs to be addressed when using such a potentially dangerous machine as a stack cutter. So it's good to know that the 842 is one of the safest machines you can use. The machine has a safety shield that help prevent your limbs from meeting the blade every time you use the machine. This makes the 842 one of the safest stack cutters available.

The 842 has a paper clamp that ensures accurate cutting. It also has an adjustable backstop that can come in handy if you need to cut over and over again.

This cutter can be used on your own work surface, but if space is limited, you can purchase an optional stand for the cutter. The stand will provide you with the right leverage you need to for an easy cutting experience. Also, the cutting stand has a shelf which can give you more room to storage your supplies.

The cutting table of the 842 is metal, so it is very durable. Also, it has measurements in both inches and centimeters, so it's easy to measure your document using your preferred measurement system.

The Cons:

The 842 has a handle on the right side of the machine. This means that left-handed people could have a challenging time when using this cutter.

This is a manual stack cutter that lacks the features of electric cutters such as a laser guide that can help you get the most accurate cut possible.

This stack cutter is a bit pricey, with a price point of $1,799.00. The optional floor stand will cost you an additional $399.00, so this cutter and stand might not be within reach for companies that are on tight budgets.

If you can live with the 842's price and handle, this is a great stack cutter and a wise investment. So take a look at the Dahle 842 professional-grade stack cutter now.
